Chapter 101 The eighth covenant before the bed

The Empress Dowager Xia fixed her eyes on Lu Buwei, and the ghostly flames that seemed to be stolen from hell were beating in her pupils. She said in a loud voice: "The Ying family has been passed down from generation to generation for more than six hundred years. The state of Qin has grown from small to large, from weak to strong. The land and people of the Qin State are all owned by the Ying family. Military power is a powerful weapon of the country, and it should be controlled by the children of the Ying family. , Xiang Guoan despises his youth. With the son of the Ying family, the army of the Ying family will be formed because of the Ying family, and the defeat will also be defeated because of the Ying family. What's the problem with outsiders?"

Li Si heard a cold sweat from the side.Empress Dowager Xia must be about to die, and she was confused.How can you say something that hurts your self-esteem casually?You can think this in your heart, but you can't say it with your mouth.Isn't this dampening the enthusiasm of Lai Ai and Lu Buwei?In vain let them chill.Didn't this tell them clearly: Qin State is the family business of our Ying family, no matter what you two do, you can only be a part-time worker after all, not to mention being the master, you can't even think about being a shareholder.Moreover, these words not only hit Lao Ai and Lu Buwei, but all the officials.The words are so naked that people who didn't want to rebel may have rebellion.

Li Si hurried to look for Ying Zheng's expression.Ying Zheng's face was still as still as water, and he didn't know the depth.It seems that at least he does not object to what Queen Mother Xia said.Li Si glanced at Cheng Xu by the way, and Cheng Xu looked excited. With the support of the Empress Dowager Xia, and a real lesson from Lu Buwei, it was hard for Cheng Xu to be unhappy. Lu Buwei was even more aggrieved by the saliva spurted by the Empress Dowager Xia on his face.Damn, why did you come to me alone?Besides, where did I say something wrong?Everything I said makes sense.Not only faithful words, but also critical words.What's so great about your queen mother? It's not like I haven't slept with a queen mother before.A bitch all the way.It's just that I don't have to sleep now.Thinking of this, Lu Buwei's hatred for Lai Ai increased a lot.

Empress Dowager Xia also felt that her words were too serious, and her tone softened, and she said: "I will go, and those who can't give up will be Chengyu. If Chengyu can become a general, then I have nothing to ask for, and I can rest in peace. Erjun Do you not pity me alone, and have the heart to make me die in regret?" After speaking, wept.Just like a vulgar and sensational TV series, a light rain fell in the sky at the right time, making the atmosphere extraordinarily sad and dignified. According to Li Si's guess, it was Ying Zheng's idea to let Cheng Yu succeed Meng Ao.And letting Empress Dowager Xia come forward as a lobbyist is really a wonderful move.Empress Dowager Xia is first of all a woman, women can be unreasonable, and women can mess around.A common trick for women is to cry, make trouble, and hang themselves.Empress Dowager Xia used all three tricks today, but the man is absolutely unable to use such tricks.Secondly, this negotiation is not destined to be a happy one, and someone must give in.And the Empress Dowager Xia is already a dying person, how could a dead person give in?

And there is another benefit in calling all the Sangong and Jiuqing together.In situations where there are a large number of people, it is more important and more effective to seize the moral high ground than to seize the high ground of power.Li Si couldn't help but think of a saying of his teacher Xunzi: "Climb a high to recruit, the arm is not lengthened, but the one who sees it is far; They are still weak, but they have seized the highest moral point, and thus have the right to speak, and can use language violence as much as they want to achieve their own goals. Which outsider has the nerve to interfere in other people's housework?Which gentleman can bear to refuse a woman's request?And which elder can cruelly kill the last wish of a dying person?Especially in this depressing and sad atmosphere, all audiences are looking forward to a happy ending.At this moment, it is not to test the courage of Lai and Lu, but to test the thickness of their skins.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Lu Buwei really can't get rid of his embarrassment.He regretted it all the time, he really shouldn't have come this time, and he didn't plan to come.When he went out, he already had an ominous feeling.Even so, Lu Buwei still wanted to pull Lao Ai to back him up, and he replied respectfully: "The Queen Mother is serious. If Mrs. Lai has no objection, the minister will naturally have no objection." Although Lai Ai didn't bring a think tank with her, she knew that for good or bad, Lu Buwei had given in, and he couldn't stand alone, so she said: "Since the queen mother has opened her mouth, how dare I refuse to obey."

The Empress Dowager Xia only showed a smile at this time, she let out a soft breath from her throat, and then lost her breath forever.In official terms, the Empress Dowager Xia passed away. Empress Dowager Xia made the last fight in her life for her beloved grandson Chengyu.It is really a miracle that she survived until now.However, she can overdraw her own life, but she cannot borrow even a little bit of love.She can squander all the wealth in the world, but she can't buy a hug from her lover.Her heart has been cold and silent many years ago, and now her body is gradually cooling.She closed her dull eyes, her old hands were spread out and hung aside, she looked so thin and pitiful.

There are children singing in the distance, the melody is melancholy, and it is faintly carried by the wind.It was the song that the Empress Dowager Xia often sang when she was a child.Song Yun: The reeds are green, and the white dew is frost.The so-called Yi people are on the side of the water, and follow it back and forth, and the road is long and obstructed.Backtracking from it, Wan is in the middle of the water.
